TRENDING: Arber Xhekaj Plows Into Referee After His Goalie Gets Ran Into

Here are some images of the scene:

This provides a vivid description of an on-ice incident involving Arber Xhekaj and Evan Rodrigues during a Canadiens vs. Panthers game, emphasizing the potential for a more serious confrontation if not for the timely intervention of an official.
